Photographer's Note
This is an easy way to 'yellow' a big chunk of my TE map!
I like also to locate this type of shots on the satellite maps... So I found out this is in the East Azerbaijan province, on the banks of the Orumiyeh Lake, a salt lake which lies at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level, and its size varies depending on seasons, between 4,500 km² and 6,000 km². Its depth do not exceed 16 meters at any point. The lake is too salty for fish life, and serves little economic purpose for surrounding areas. The little village we see is called Gamishi...
Here is a satellite map of the same place...
Une maniere facile de jaunir un gros bout de ma carte TE! Et j'aime bien reperer ces vues d'avion sur les cartes satellite.
Nous nous trouvons au bord du lac Orumiyeh, un lac salé, situé a 1250m d'altitude, et d'une superficie variant entre 4500 et 6000 km², selon les saisons.
Sa profondeur ne dépasse pas les 16 mètres, et il est trop sale pour la vie des poissons... il a donc peu d'intérêt économique pour ses environs...
Le petit village que l'on peut apercevoir s'appelle Gamishi...
Vous pouvez voir ici l'image par satellite...

salut Lol
Moi aussi, j'ai bien envie de jaunir la carte TE et je crois que j'ai un post valable(enfin, je l'espère)lorsque nous survolions la Turquie ;)
Ici, on voit bien le découpage des côtes, luminosité et couleurs sont superbes.

Salut Laurent,
impressing by the colour contrasts and the good sharpness to follow the lines of the landscape. The framing with the blue below and two parts with a bit different space of earth tones above is well done.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

bonjour laurent
superbe vue d'avion à la YHB, qui nous fait découvrir un desert de rocks, d'eau et de sel ou des gens s'accrochent pour vivre des faibles ressources de cette place.

Salam Laurent,
Good POV & nice image . Lake Urmia has 102 islands . Different creatures live inside or near this lake, including some species of shrimps(brine shrimp), amphibians and birds like flamingos and pelicans.Urmia Lake has shallow borders with lots of mud.The mud is said to have good effects in treatment of some diseases of the joints. Thus in the buffer zone, recreational activities, (eco)tourism, artemia harvesting, salt extraction and hunting are going on.

Salut Laurent,
La vue d'avion est tranchante, aiguisée presque.
Difficile pourtant de concurrencer les couleurs su satellite de Google.

Bonjour Laurent,
A spectacular and very successful photo! The coastline can be seen very clearly in contrast with the very blue water of the lake. The slopes of the hills and mountains are also beautiful to see with a nice light/shadow-contrast. Very well captured and thanks for sharing!

Salut Laurent.
Quelle belle carte en relief tu as ainsi obtenu !
Tu as eu la bonne idée de faire un renvoi sur la carte satellite.
Les couleurs et le graphisme genre fractales sont du meilleur effet.

Bonsoir Laurent,
L'image très spectaculaire est difficile à identifier à la Terre, en tout cas aux images habituelles de la planète. J'ai vu l'image par satellite, il n'y a pas photo, la tienne est précise, détaillée et belle. Un très beau travail.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Crystal clean shot, revealing the salt depositions in the left side of Ganishi. I haven't heard of that lake before, I will inquire further now...it is fascinating.

Hello Laurent!
I love aerial views and this one is superb, with excellent sharpness and colors!
The different textures of all those geographical elements - lake, mountains and desert (sand) are just wonderful!
Thank you very much for sharing that unique and beautiful picture!
I took a look at the satellite view and it's very nice! It looks like they're building a new bridge there!
Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Excellent !
Je suis vraiment fan des images prises d'avion, et celle-là est fascinante de netteté et de couleurs (avec une mention spéciale pour le bleu profond de la mer).
Bravo,
Bonne soirée,

tiens,toi ausi tu t'amuses à prendre des photos d'avion,pour allonger ta liste de pays!Moi,j'ai un epu raté mon coup la dernière fois,la Géorgie est tellement petite que je ne voyais pas la différence avec avant!La netteté est incroyable,difficile de croire que c'est pris à travers un hublot,et d'une telle hauteur!Le nombre de détails visible est stupéfiant!J'adore les teintes et la douceur de la partie droite,s'agit-il d'une étendue de sel?Franchement superbe!

Hi Laurent
This is pretty similar to the satellite image! Amazing geography with the contours of the mountains, the islands so very clear. Beautiful contrast with the blue water. Any idea what's the white portion on the top left...are they salt sediments? Impressive shot!

Hi Laurent, This is a great bird’s eye view, such a clear shot showing the mountains & coast lines brilliantly, it might be interesting to take the same photo in ten years time & compare the two, excellent picture, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Laurent. I love aerial photographs, they always have a graphic quality and require you to look harder to make out the scene. Excellent photo. Good detail and textures. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Bonjour Laurent,
you are a bit cheating with this photo the map on TE. On the other hand it is indeed of a great quality taking into account that it was taken from the plane. I have never achieved such quality through the window.
Very interesting coastal like as well makes it interesting.
Very well done,
M
